Amazon vs Microsoft vs Google
The big three Amazon, Microsoft and Google provide important technologies and services in the field of cloud, ML and AI. Machine Learning as a service is being used by many corporate for delivering their deliverable to clients and also enhancing the solution on the go and with cloud and pandemic around the corner the importance of these service has increased many folds.

MLaas is provide in the cloud-based service for AI solutions. So here is a comparison of the big three below:

Usage wise there is been a study showing the comparing the three where AWS is the clear coming out on top. But other two are also growing over time.

Major Clients of the big three

Image Text Comparison
There was handwriting imaging comparison by CAZTON based on AI models performed on the three service providers.
We will be comparing the following three services for their accuracy to convert handwritten documents correctly:
• Amazon Textract
• Microsoft Azure Vision
• Google Vision

Summary from the above comparison:

Out of all the services, Microsoft Azure Vision performed the best for English language, while Google Vision performed the best for French language. Amazon Textract is clearly a distant third.

Market share of major service providers:

Future for MLaaS:
With MLaaS, businesses can reap the benefits of technology without undertaking the rigorous process of building their own models from scratch. They no longer have to worry so much about in-house capability or having data science and engineering degrees. Rather, the main focus is on getting the solution that best integrates into their existing framework and delivers the most value.

Even though object detection is done by all the three APIs there are differences in their Image Size and Rate Limits accordingly:

Even in Face Recognition, there are some differences among the three major APIs

The thought of implementing machine learning sounds unattainable for the majority of businesses. Thanks to companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, it is now possible to get Machine Learning as a service (MLaaS).

Conclusion:
AWS leads the pack of cloud services and especially in image processing as it enjoys the being released early and set up its depth in the market. But as new technologies and algorithm are evolving market share is distributing to other cloud service provider like Azure and Google and many other entering the domain.
